MALATSWAE PRIMARY SCHOOL DANCE TROUPE TOURS GABORONE

His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Botswana, Lieutenant General Dr Seretse Khama Ian Khama extended a special invitation to Learners from Malatswae Primary School Traditional Dance Troupe to visit Gaborone from the 9th – 12th November 2017.

The aim of the trip was to give Learners a rare opportunity to appreciate urban life in many facets, visit facilities that will equip them with appreciation and better understanding of historic sites as well as exposure to city life recreational facilities.

HRDC’s involvement in the Learners tour was necessitated by the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that was signed by the Human Resource Development Council (HRDC) and Malatswae Primary School Leadership in October 2017. HRDC as the adopters of Malatswe Primary School, saw it fit to partake in this initiative by making the trip logistics successful.

It was during the trip that staff of HRDC displayed immense hospitality based on benevolence gesture by hosting the Learners and teachers accompanying them to delightful welcome lunch held in the HRDC Gardens. Over and above that, some of the HRDC staff took time from their busy schedules to accompany the Learners on sightseeing trips including; recording of Mokaragana TV Show and daily preparation of meals for the Learners.  Furthermore, the Learners were also taken on excursions around Gaborone such as: to the Three Chiefs Monument; Sir Seretse Khama International Airport; Lion Park Resort; Game City Mall; special visit to the State House and BDF Band Concert at Sir Seretse Khama Barracks. It is worth noting that HRDC Senior Management accompanied the Learners to visit the State House where they were welcomed by His Excellency the President Lieutenant General Dr Seretse Khama Ian Khama and were treated to special networking session full of dance, music, native discoveries and laughter.
